Question Not enough fan headers

[Public_Storage]

I’m quite a newbie in the pc building world and have already encountered a problem. I have 5 fans in my tower, 3 Arctic F12’s and 2 Fractal Design LL 120 mm’s, but only three fan headers on my Asus ROG B450-F. What’s the best solution?

You can use fan header splitter cable https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E168121...m_re=case_fan_splitter-_-12-119-873-_-Product to split each header to 2 fans without any issue.

Or you can buy a fan hub such as this https://www.newegg.com/phanteks-ph-pwhub-02-black/p/N82E16811984030?Description=fan hub&cm_re=fan_hub--11-984-030--Product

They also have more expensive ones that also act as RGB hubs if thats what you need.

Thank you, but I have a question to that response
Are fan header splitter cables a good idea/reliable?

Yes. You can split fan headers to two fans without any issue. Personally I would buy a fan hub, they make for a cleaner setup. Be sure to hook up the supplemental molex/sata power to the hub.
